"The Avengers" Concept Art Shows Thanos

By now everyone knows that Thanos shows up in "The Avengers" mid-credits scene. But now that he film has been released on DVD and Blu-ray, we have a look at some concept art and make-up that went into making that scene happen. Check out the images below.

We recently heard that Thanos will be at the center of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and then show up in "The Avengers" sequel. Marvel wouldn't confirm that, but hinted: "Clearly, there's a purpose to us putting him in the end of ['The Avengers']," said the company. "We do have plans for him."

Regarding whether Damion Poitier will return to play Thanos, Marvel said that the character will likely be recast.

For some reason, I think it would be cool for him to have a strong Brit accent. Now I think it'd be great for it to be along the lines of a deeper Vinnie Jones but Thanos is the villain that looks down on everyone so a more "regal" accent like that of a Ray Winstone.

Ron Perlman is a good physical actor who could play Thanos. He has the height, square head and strong jaw line. Just slap on some purple grey prosthetics and you're in business. Besides he's probably use to wearing rubber suits all day long from Hellboy movies.
